In a recent interview on Plan B FM’s social and lifestyle show dubbed “Nyansapɔ Fie,” Reverend Sam Manful, Head Pastor of Global Ark of Grace Chapel, shared his insights on the dangers of holding grudges and their link to spiritual conflict. “When we refuse to forgive, we create a barrier between ourselves and God,” he told host Nana Asabea. “It’s like a spiritual dam, blocking the flow of grace and peace in our lives.”
Reverend Manful emphasized that vengeance is not just a personal issue but a spiritual one, citing the story of Esau and Jacob, where favouritism led to generational grudges. “Vengeance is a toxic emotion that can lead to anxiety, depression, and even physical illness,” he warned. “It’s a heavy burden to carry, and it can weigh us down spiritually.”
“Spiritually, demonic forces take dominion over those who bear grudges for long,” he revealed. “Undying altars are even built to make grudges become generational, as exhibited by the Edomites when Moses wanted to cross with the Israelites.” Reverend Manful added that “the battle will shift amongst altars, as those who first bore the grudges will be no more.”
In conclusion, Reverend Sam Manful’s words of wisdom serve as a stark warning: vengeance is a spiritual poison that can destroy our lives. It’s time to confront the grudges we’ve been holding onto and choose forgiveness. Not because it’s easy, but because it’s necessary. Let’s break free from the chains of resentment and embrace the freedom that comes with forgiveness. The battle for our souls is real, and forgiveness is the weapon we need to win. Don’t let vengeance hold you hostage any longer. Choose forgiveness today and start living the life you deserve.
